PM Modi launches Transparent Taxation platform to benefit honest taxpayers Back
PM Narendra Modi on Thursday launched the platform for 'Transparent Taxation – Honoring the Honest' aimed at easing compliance and expediting refunds, benefiting honest taxpayers.
Three main features of the platform are faceless assessment, faceless appeal and tax payers' charter, Narendra Modi announced.
The PM said focus is on making the tax system people-centric and public friendly, “banking the unbanked, securing the unsecured, funding the unfunded and honoring the honest.”
According to Modi, the four factors responsible for changes in the taxation system were policy-driven governance, belief in people's honesty, the use of advanced technology and efficiency in bureaucracy. "Where there is complexity, there is a problem in compliance," he added.
In praising the role of honest taxpayers, Modi said: “When the life of an honest taxpayer of the country becomes easy, he moves forward and develops, then the country also develops and leaps forward."
A persistent issue the current administration has received criticism on is the issue of taxation, despite genuine attempts at improving the tax structure.
